The plaintiff's counsel stated in open court that piaintif’s knowledge was based on the opinion of eminent medical advisers, who on the trial of the case proved to be Drs, Carnochan and Willard Parker. ‘These gentl men were examined before the referee appointed to try the case. The auswer of the defendant denies the allegation of the plainui, but admits that he did operate upon her for an abscess of the left hip a jittle distance from the jomt; that the plamun’s case afier rematn- ing on the calendar of the court lor two years was moved by defendant's counsel for trial last May.

(June 17) correspondence of the Boston Advertiser.) * * * Ah My is shortol stature, slightly built, and his beardless face suggests that he is yet but a boy; but we must not judge tis age by home stand- ards, His eyes seem half nt ee narrow are they, but they are keen and quick, ig skin is dusky, his Nose fav, his teeth prominent. Half his head jy shaved close; on the crown is coiled the long braided cue of jet black halr, terminating in a tassel, which would be hanging about Ah My’s heels were he in full dress. His cue is shorter than those of some of hls comrades, as he 1s young; Uhere are some in tne party Ww ich Just touch the ground, Itis tne dearest possession of a Chinaman, and the one member of the company who is old and baid wears a false one, pinned to his ate the Lord knows how.

He has been eight years in tis country, serving the first five faithfully as a house servant, cook and chambermaid, and has made such progress in Bis stay as to enable him to command the “great wages” for one of his race, which I have already mentioned, He ts American- ized in many Ways. He wears the garments of our civilization throughout, a rewarkably natty boot fitting his little foot; but he still cherishes the native Joshions, end has brought tn his baggage for use on Special occasions Chinese shoes of gorgeous em- broidery, and a superb coat of sea otter skin lined with silk, which paid a prodigious duty on entering Caufornia, He speaks broken Engitsh readily; but being a fast talker of swift ideas it i8 unpossibie, for your correspondeat at least, to understand him When he undertakes @ long explanauion, though his short answers are plain enough. He reads print pretty well, dodging the hard words as a cinid would do. He has taken an English name tor common use, being “Charlie” in everyday life, and “Mr. Sing” only on state occasions. More remarkable tian all, he has joined — the Methodist church, and brings a letier of credit from his San Francisco pastor to the clergyman in North Adams in the approved way. I should not hesitate to predict a fall congregation next Sunday, to hear the new member's reiution of experience. Still another of Charlie’s acquirements was brought out by an incident of the journey hither, At Omaba the bitter hostility of emigrants from the East towards emigrants from the st began to make itself heard. A big, somewhat tipsy, Irishman forced his way into the car, breathing menaces of violence, aud drew his loaded revolver upon the foreman, who strove to prevent him. Charlic, wiih one motion, s the feliow’s pistol dd and held it harm- lessly aloft, and at the same mstant drew his own revolver and held it against his breast. “You leave,” sald Ah Sing’s gentle tones, “Me shoot you. Me s00. you as not.’ And so he backed tonisied Irishman out of the car and aown the ina way that showed he had learned some- besides religion in eight years spent in Cal:for- mia ani Nevada. ne young wen who fill this room, resting from their journey and waiting to be set at work, are neither smoking nor drinking, talking obscenity nor quarreling, as Some classes of tmnugrants I wot of would be likely to be; nor are any of them abso- lutely idle, Here one 18 reading with evident ease and Fapidity a Chinese book whicu he has brougit with hun. “Your people can all read,” I observe to Ah Sing. “We have some immigrants come here who can’t read.”? reg edifying to watch the Chinaman’s amaze- ment. ‘No read English, you mean ?? ‘Some who cannot read at all, in thelr own language.” “What for not learn, when children?

Boy behave bad, teacher make him stand long time hands in desk, 80,” Miustrating graphically. “No boy in China not learn to read.’ At the next table a Chinaman has got out from his siender baggage @ biank book, the pages of thin, whitey-brown paper all numbered in Chinese characters, in which he 18 beginning to keep a jour- nal in up and down lines.

This afternoon he has gone through tue whole alphabet without prompting and with only three mistakes, I doubt if there were ever such eagerly interested learners anywhere in the world. Ava table on the other side of the room two anta- fonisis are playing some game Of skill, With woocen counters, each bearmg a different Chinese inscrip- tion and seeming beens of different moves, on 3 board the squares of which are aiso murked to in- dicate diferent properties. It seems like chess, like checkers, like fox and geese; and yet ia not just like either of them, Atany rate it 1s an exciting game, for the players exult visibly, though m silence, as they sweep each other's pieces off the board, and they are surrounded by a crowd of in- terested spectators. ‘A youth, seated by himself, ts movitg up and down the Spheres strung on & wire framework, which we already know to be asort of counting machine, His manner indicates the working out of a puzzle; but an inquiry brings an explanation from Ab Sing: “Be studying arithmetic.” When further curiosity is expressed the foreman ruthlessly sweeps his sub- Ject’s sum tuto chaos, aud shows te working of the little apparatus, with which all kinds of arithmetical operations may be done as efficiently as with a slate and pencil, and with which he adds up a sum of five or six numbers in the thousands with entire correct- ness, A little movement at the upper end of the room calls our interpreter away; and presently it appears that a slight disagreement having arisen, the two “counsellors”? have been summoned to arbitrate in the matier, and Mr. Ah Sing iis been Calied upon as the final umpire, rettring with plaintti? and defend- ant to the back room, and adininistering justice with a4 promptness and Cheapness {rom which the courts of Wesiern civilization might take @ lesson, We pass up stairs to the shop where the chosen of | Stst students are appiying themselves to their mite. riais and machinery, and where, after all, the great practical question of this North Adams experiment is to be answered, AN INDIGNANT VIRGINIA LADY.—AN exchange Slates that Mixs Martha Haines Butt Bennett, a Vir- ginia literary lady, having been elected vice prest- deat of & woman's rights convention without her knowledge or consent, denounces the proceeding as anu atjempt at vilification by some fend im human | WoOODsID) sha East from West Randall to Duna, 02200 ort THE NATIONAL GAME, Red Stockings vs. Stars--The Amateure Make the Best Score But One with the Reds Scere Sixteen to Eleven. Every one hereabouts knows that the Star Ama- teur Club are favorite players, and consequently nobody will be surprised that their meeting with the Cincinnatians yesterday drew the largest num- ber of spectators attending any of the “Reds? ” pre- vious encounters in New York, The admirers of the Brooklyn club, though not confldent of the club’s success, laid odds upon their favorites showing a better score than any other club had done, save the Atlantica, and how accurate were their calculations the subjoined score will show. ‘The ptars won the toss and took the fleld, the players evincing a slight timidness. George Wright pioneered the Reds at the bat, and strack at one of Cummings’ tempting balls immediately, This he found did not work and so he grew careful, so Auch so that the umpire had to arouse him to a sense of nis duty by calling a@ strike upon him, This was strike No, 2, and George concluded if he did not measure his “baton” and the delivered bail more ac- curately next time he would enjoy the felicity of an FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, WALL STREET, } Sarourpay, June 18—6 P.

GOLD DULL. ‘The gold market was dull, The earliest price was 112, from which there was an advance to 11346 on the intelligence of a decline of 50 centimes in French rentes, attributed to the severe Illness of Napoleon. ‘The Bourse was reported panicky to-day.

The activity referred to is attributed to heavy purchases of Lake Shore yester- day, the money for which came due this afternoon. Commercial paper is scarce. The few transactions which take place are at 5% to 634 percent for fine double names. Foreign exchange was dull after the steamer and unchanged.

Itis certainly curious that the purclrase yesterday of 700,000 shares should have advanced it to 100% only, and that it had to be sus- tained to-day with bogus reports of a settlement of the railway “war.” Erie was active at the morning board, where it advanced to 2534, but fell off to 2435 and closed dull, Northwest was lower on a further decrease in earnings despite the exaggerated re- ports of a heavy grain movement from the West. ‘The Western railways were generally lower and heavy.

Woodbull on Politicni Mistory. ARTICLE IX of amendments to the constitution deciares that ‘The enumeration in the constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.” Art. X.—The powers not delegated to the Untred States by the constitution, nor prohibited by tt, to the States, ure reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. SECTION 1 of articie IV. of the constitution says, “Full faith and evedit shall be given in each State to the pubic acts, records and judicial proceedings of every other Stute. And the Congress may by gen- eral laws prescrive the manner th which such acts, &c., shall be proved, and the effect thereof.’ Szc.2—"The citizens of each State shall be en- titled to all privileges and immunities of citizens of the several States.’? Sxc. 8, I. ‘flat Congress shall have power to provide lor the general welfare of the United States” which last is tantamount to saying the general wel- faré of the people asa whole. It seems trom these quotations, made in inverse order, that it was te intention of the framers of the constitution to make such provistons as would per- mit and compel harmonious action throughout the States, but that subsequently it became a part of party policy to maintain that the States had rights reserved, and while not defining what these were to declare that such as were not distinctly and posi- tively delegated constituted this reservation, Under this interpretation it 13 possible for serious diMicul- ties to arise between the general government and the States, as they have. It seems from the general tenor of the original constitution that these umend- ments are nugatory because the inference to be drawn from thein ts inconsistent therewith, One of the most prominent as well as the first declaration ig to the effect tliat nothing shall exist in any State injurious to the general wellare of the whole. While it 13 within the scope of Cougress to determine whatis for or against the geueral welfare of the whole no State cau set up its rights against such judgment. When it is furtner made the duty of the United States to guarantee @ republican form of government io every State, and to protect each State in such agalust all Others, there can be No iimit set upon the general powers of Congress. ‘The only tauit—if fault 1, may be called—in the origiual consutauon hes in this—that wile the power to do is vested in the United States, tt 1s not made an imperative duty to perform, though the duty is to be interred by the Vesture of the power. in Tailing to exercise this power tu its rullest sense aud to perform tis inferred duty les the cause of ull the disturbances within the limits ol the country. We can now proceed to the consideration of what duties Congress is invested with tie power to per- for, Which ave not been exercised, and which, being exercised, would coutribate to the general welfare of the people and thereby promote the pub- Me good, it will also be considered whether there are auy additioual powers Congress sould possess which Can be conievved, and which the consuitution neither directly nor inferentially vests, Tus cousid- sration Will proceed without regard being given to paraiing Waat comes within the limis aiready possessed from Unat which should be conierred, First in importance, because of generat applica- tion, stand tue common laws of the country, Of Uhese itis asserted, with the utmost directness and force, Laat Wien a general condition is to ve pro- vided for in ine Country it should be tue sphere of its goverument io make the same law applicable everywhere, 80 Uial the citizens of the Uniced states shail, ab al times and places within its iimits, be subject to the same coutroiling and gulding rule, ‘Phere should be uo such possibility as an indiana divorce under Indiana law, differing so much from those of Oller States 4s not to be recognizable by them. ‘Lhere shouid be only United Staies divorces, uuder a general iaW that could not be questtoued anywhere, and by which we parties to it suould stand in tae gaine relations to each other in what. ever part of it they migiit chance to be, also tn such re.ations to every une Liat they may remarry with- out becoming hivie Lo the Charge of bigamy. ‘Within the last ew years many States have found it necessary to so reconstruct their general systems of law a8 to cut off all special tegisiation, ‘This course 1s eminently judicious in every respect ft can be viewed, und las proved excellent in practice, by rclieving legisiation and procuring untiomity. If this is a dezirab.e result, 80 far as @ State ls con- cerned, Why should not the application be made general for the Bnited States, wiih prospect of pro- poruonal beneilt? Ali people would then be subject vo the same ruie Of uction and responsibilty, To i:lustyate:—A state has & general law under which joint stock aud other companies can becoue moor. porate. Before wus cach proposed company waa obilged to make direct application to the state gov- ernment for un uct of meorporation. Afier it any proposed orgauization could become incorporated by Caer to the regulations prescrived and thereby obtaln all the power that could be comerred by the Legisiature direct. No one having knowledge Of Ue tcdious proces-es of iegislation will question the advantage of tits general law, both as regards Jegisiauon aud the people, ‘this admitted, it must be jurtheradmitied nat the advantage wouid be still greater were tis 2 general law of the United States, applying Mm every State, instead of a mere state jaw with the probabilities that each State having it Wouid provide duferent steps ana regula- uous, So that a person familar with thator one State finds he Knows notaing of it 1 the State he removes wo. The same Jine of reasoning applies wiih more or less force to every bruuch of tegisiauon, pspeciaily is it pointed regarding the Criininai Code, for here very great distiuction exists in the severat States, ‘The petaily for a spectited crime is scarcely (he same in any two States; while some have abol- ished the taking of life for tfe, others still imprison for debt Which siows a degree of divergence en- Urely incompatible in a country that professes unity of purpose and practice. Ln civil practice itis utterly lnpossibie for tie most studious and projound jurist to acquire and retain accurate Knowledge of it in even a siiall proportion Of the States, Every lawyer can tesiify to Me dimiculties he encounters at every tarn Wied the laws of another State have any bear. ing in the case he Sune States re- quire that deeds executed tn another State sor pro- perty within tself siall be acknowledged before a notary, While another requires @ commissioner of deeds; and still auotier the Certiicate of some Court of Record that the notary is duly ap- pointed, &c. ‘The dim@iculties that arise from this condition of tings are of such magnitude as scarcely to be couceived of by those who have never experienced them; nor can they be adequately presented in the 1mited space of this article. 1 18, however, held to be apparent that if a general bank- rupt and election law 1s to be preferred to thirty-six diferent ones, general laws upon all other subjecis: are also preferavle. It is alogical conclusion that “the pubic wellare” would ee if Congresa should pass general laws for the whole country, to cover all cases and causes that are general to the whole country, leaving for the States sucu legisia- tion only a8 las no application outside thelr iudi- vidual iimiis, 1tis not surprising that well instructed jurists of foreign countries Lave no faith in our existence asa consoiidaied = natiol They argue that it is impossible of a country containing so many internal sources of discord aud diverences. ‘A house divided against itself cannot stand” they hold to equally apply to nations. I this has stood thus long aud prospered 1t by no means follows that it will always stand and prosper; but the inierence 1s thatsectional interests will be the source of continual disturbances and revolutions untli some great sectional 1uterest shall become powerful enough to separate itself from the rest of the country aud to dely its power successfuny. In view of that con- sideration should not we attention of Congress be called to the fact that it is ite inferred auty, at least, to enact ail laws that will promote the public welfare? And to this end it shoud inquire how the public wellare is suifering from the negiect thus far practised, that the remedy may be applied. If itis found that its power uuger the constitu- tion to remedy such evils is doubtful, amendments granting it snould be at once proposed and sub- initted. Whatever opposition there might be on the part of present State Legisiatures and officials the people will welcome any measure looking to the era- dication of the cause of internal agitation, It car- not be that patriotism {ts to pass away entirely, though it appears to be nearly submerged by the ris- ing tide of mdividual seifiishness. Let it arouse itself and consider whether there be not room for exercise in the direction indicated, and whetner It ts not better lo prevent disaster than to repair dam- ages. The exainple of Louls Napoleon is an excel- lent one to follow. Nor should’patriotism be blinded by the mere name of freedom and __ justice, sounded so loudiy to cover the deformities practised under their shelter. In many direc- tons this is eminentiy an analyc age, Let the fruits of government be submitted to the crucible, Many of thé would be found not only hoilow, but basely deceptive. Itis well enough to cry peace when War rages, but the crying will not bring it, 1t1s well enough to laud the freedom of the land, but why not make the direct inquiry to find how much ot itis reai aud how much is iancied freedom, not to say genuine siavery? It 18 well to assert that justice hulds 3wi everywhere, but those who have had most occasion to find it must hold thelr peace lest the fair delusion be dispelled. Let the peace that is cried, the freedom that 1s lauded and the justice that is asserted, be subjected to the test of alalysis, that it may be really known what principles euter iute their composition. It is much to be feared that when all the dross and foreign substances are separated, and the pure residuuar only left, its proportion to the mass submitted would be jamentably sinall, still let us have the analysis.
